Valmyra turned to another Lions' member who addressed her, this time it was the heavily armored man Istvan. Earlier he and Cadmon, the other member he was in service to, had outlined their plan to have the former lead a raid team as part of the bait squad to smash up the effigies and draw out their targets. Honestly, Valmyra didn't really understand all that much the odd and intricate tactics these human warriors implored. But, it'd best to learn it now, since she'd be working so many of them. The Lamia had ultimately decided to join the bait squad to add in drawing out the enemy, most serpents preferred to lie in wait and ambush but Val was always a more forthright and standoffish person. She was admittedly rather on edge, working with such a large group, but she'd just have to grit her fangs and bear it.

[color=crimson]"I can't speak of how well we'll work together, but I will follow your lead."[/color] She responded to Istvan.

Sitting in the forest, the sun now set, Valmyra indeed felt right at home amongst the sea of tress. She watched as Urden wasted no time in smashing the effigies with his axe, the sounds of metal chopping away at wood. As opposed to using her lance to do the job, Val thought it easier to simply smack the figures with her large tail. Letting loose a powerful whip, Val had smacked one completely out of the ground with such force it shattered as it slammed against a nearby tree. She began to see moving figures appear from the bushes and branches as she wiped bits of wood and grain from her tail. It seemed the commotion they caused finally garnered some attention. Underlings of the necromancer descended upon them; they made sneers and muffled sounds under the masks they wore, flailing their crude weapons as they began their attack. 

[color=crimson]"Filthy rodents."[/color] She spat. 

The lamia grabbed the nearest attacker using her impressive coils, nearly squeezing the life out of them before skewering them with her lance. She then threw the body at another pair attempting to flank her. Before they could get up, Val already slithered toward them with surprising speed, stabbing one in the chest and slamming her tail down on the other's spine. She felt a satisfying crack as she landed her blow, that let her know that he's days of desecration were over. She looked over at Urden who seemed to be doing just fine against masked assailants, making loud war cries as he swung his axe wildly. Hopefully, the better they performed here the better position the other team would be in.
